After two internationally acclaimed Wechsel Garland albums ("Wechsel Garland"/Morrmusic 2000, and "Liberation von History"/Karaoke Kalk 2002) and their precursor "Wunder" (also on Karaoke Kalk), on "The Isle" Joerg Follert teamed up with Japanese artist Sohichiro Suzuki/World Standard, who has created a body of work that stretches out over 20 years. Suzuki released many of his albums through Haruomi Hosono's (Yellow Magic Orchestra) Daisyworld label. Thematically, his work is located on the fringes of European, American and Far Eastern "exotic music". In a loose, but harmonic sequence, the 15 tracks of "The Isle" create a mood music, which is calm and still like a summer house by the edge of the sea. Its music chirps like the steppe in Tuscany during May. This album needs no formula to function.
